  1.  @EnteleiEchein  A lot of them don't think ahead and don't plan. Babies "happen".

  2.  @tomjones8715  mass immigration has pushed up the price of housing and pushed down the price of labour.

  3. Cost of housing vs wages in Britain has exploded due to immigration.

  4.  @account-369  Go and live in Somalia, Nigeria or the Congo then

  5. And you think replacing Europeans with Nigerians and Somalis is a solution? When why aren't Somalia and Nigeria rich, successful countries?

  6. Sooner. It's happening now in the big cities.

  8.  @jimpaddy79  Nice theory but it's not actually true. Roughly 80% of immigrants cost more than they contribute. On average immigrants from other Western countries contribute more than they cost but on average immigrants from less developed parts of the world cost more despite their younger age profile. And same story elsewhere. University of Copenhagen did a good study on this and more recently the University of Amsterdam. They found immigration in Netherlands cost 400 billion in total, they basically squandered their entire North Sea gas wealth to make their country less cohesive, more overcrowded, more violent and more dysfunctional. Check it out.

  9. Yeah but if you had to hire people to work in your company the last ones you want are the mentally ill.

  11.  @j.l.w9563  Not actually a bad system to allow employers complete freedom because in a limited labour market then employers would have to compete for competent staff. The problem is, employers also have an endless flow of immigrants to push down wages as well so employers have all the power and employees have too little.

  12.  @j.l.w9563  Yes the thumb is definitely on the scale against small businesses. It's not so much taxation, it's regulation which big business loves because big companies have the scale to navigate it. And that includes regulation around employment law.

  13.  @Carl-hs420a  Incorrect, over and over politicians promise to fix immigration but it never happens. The electorate never voted for immigration, it's a project imposed by the political elite and their sponsors in the City who benefit short term from lower wages.

  14. Mass immigration has pushed up the price of housing and pushed down the price of labour. If you think replacing Europeans with Somalis and Afghanis is some kind of solution then you need to think about what you're suggesting.

  17. LOL I once saw a contract advertised which required five years experience in a version of a tool which was only two years old. I learned to just say "yes" when asked in interviews whether I'd used a particular tool. Never had a problem picking up what's required when I'm in the contract.

  18. At this point, we're basically working and paying taxes to subsidise our own replacement and colonisation by people who hate us.

  19. Because mass immigration has pushed up the price of housing and pushed down the price of labour. If you think replacing Europeans with third world people is any kind of solution then you're not thinking this through. Europe is swamped with immigrants as much as the USA is.

  20. I think you might be missing the main point. Some ex mining communities now have higher disability rates amongst working age people than they did when they were actually mining communities,. Despite that most working age men were subject to industrial accidents, lung cancer and all kinds of other mine related poisoning, there's higher disability .rates now. Not to discount the modern lifestyle being unhealthy, you're surely right about that but there's more to it than that

  21.  @Fay-i2s  "lack of building houses" - engage your brain please. Since almost all of the increase in population is due to immigration, why would there need to be so many houses built without immigration? Study found 89% of the increase in cost of housing is due to immigration. Google it
